Most RWA protocols chase TVL like it's the finish line, stacking deposits to look impressive on leaderboards. But that number alone doesn't reveal if the capital is earning its keep or just parked. @Theo_Network flips the script with velocity: volume divided by TVL, a sharper lens on actual usage. Their thBILL hits $200M TVL but clocks over $700M in volume, pushing a velocity ratio north of 3.5x. That's not idle treasury wrappers it's liquidity in motion, backing trades, loans, and yields that cycle back into the system. ➤ Short-term US Treasuries tokenized with Standard Chartered custody and Wellington management mean AAA-rated backing without the off-chain drag ➤ On-chain mints settle in one block, KYC to USDC to PT-thBILL staking on Morph, borrowing at 2-3% to redeploy netting mid-teens carry after 11-12% APY ➤ Zero slippage via LayerZero routes keeps the flow tight, turning what used to be siloed TradFi holdings into composable DeFi primitives This isn't about hoarding value. It's engineering circulation that strengthens pricing discovery and pulls in real economic activity. High velocity protocols like Theo's are the ones that stick when the market sorts for utility over optics. What metric are you watching to spot the next RWA that's actually built to last? #RWA #DeFi

Cross chain bridges sound simple, until you actually try to swap one Security, validators, liquidity, fees, finality, it's a lot for new joiners. And most guides on X are outdated and so confusing. That's why I tell new joiners to use @Infinit_Labs. It breaks down bridges in plain English, like what risks matter, which routes have real liquidity, and where the fees actually come from. Makes the whole process way easier, especially if you're new to this space.

Polymarket - Dual structure of Permissionless and Curation Polymarket consists of two layers 1. Frontend (Polymarketdotcom) - curated by the team 2. Backend (Gnosis Conditional Tokens Framework) - fully permissionless protocol Anyone can create a market on the protocol, but only markets strictly selected by the team appear on the Polymarket interface as official markets Curation criteria - Whether there is real trading demand - Whether the outcome can be clearly distinguished - Whether it fits the platform structure Market structure - The basic is 1 USDC = 1 Yes + 1 No - Innovation through NegRiskAdapter enabling collateral for all outcomes of a multi‑outcome market (when there are multiple choices) simultaneously Personal thoughts I was only interested in prediction markets, but after reading a tweet I studied it on my own. It's difficult But it seems to have some fun Actually I'm more interested in whether there is a structural gap here that can be exploited, rather than the betting itself… If even I can discover it, it must already be widely known?!

Coinbase notifies users via email that starting December 15, only users subscribed to Coinbase One will continue to receive the approximately 3.5% annual USDC reward, while regular non-paying users will no longer earn USDC deposit yields. Previously, Coinbase offered USDC rewards ranging from about 2% to 3.5% in different regions; this program is funded by the exchange itself to encourage users to hold USDC on the platform.

Just tried ProverNet Beta by @brevis_zk on-chain auctions pairing proofs with provers in real time. Payments in $USDC; Brevis Chain keeps costs stable and fast. #ZK

Just saw the collaboration between @brevis_zk and BSC sister project @Aster_DEX shared by the leaders of YZI. I recall I posted this before, so I'll share it again: In plain terms, Brevis's ZK Proof means enabling real-time rebates on-chain just like in CEXs; essentially it's the rebate node statistics module found in exchanges, called Reward Hub in Perp DEX. Implementing this on centralized exchanges is easy—just sync the database. Doing it decentralized on-chain is difficult because it must preserve privacy and be verifiable (to prevent rebate disputes based on trading volume) while also meeting latency requirements (so as not to affect transaction completion speed). After reviewing their brief, the service essentially follows a dividend pool model. Their Provenet logic allows anyone to provide ZK compute power for earnings; currently settlements are in USDC, and they plan to switch to $BREV after their TGE. Their dividend settlement logic includes a so-called “trade market matching mechanism” — quotes are required for matches, theoretically eliminating bubbles. Of course, in practice, it's unrealistic for Provenet to have no initial subsidies, as their official GitHub states that participating in ZK compute mining requires equipment: an Ubuntu server with NVIDIA GPU support and a high-performance configuration of 64 vCPU. This setup faces many competitors both within and outside the crypto space. If bids can't match, token incentives may be needed later to compensate. Therefore, as a potential demand side for the @Brevis ZK solution, I would like to ask the project team several questions: - What is the unit cost of using the ZK Proof service currently? - What is the approximate yield for compute providers? If monthly data can't be provided, could you give an estimate of the unit earnings level?

Bridged a fat USDC stack from arb to sol w/ @blazpaylabs AI swap & it literally ghosted every chain hop I was bracing for… sniffed ETH gas spike mid route, yeeted to base, +2.5% over my last 1inch slippage buffet Multichain finally feeling borderless
